M. S. PRIOR, SALISBURY, MD. 



SOUTHLAND "^"^^'^-^ ori.yinated by the U. S. Department of AgTiculture and 

 is recommended for the sonth as a home or local market berry 

 being much better in (luality and tlavor than Missionary. Klondyke or Blakemore. The 

 berries are nnnsnally large. l)eing much larger than the varieties usually grown in the 

 south and very tine in quality ; are (luite tirm in tlesli and will stand up for some time 

 but must be handled carefully as the skin is tender. Plants are healthy, vigorous growers 

 with foliage that is free from disease. Southland is especially recommended for the 

 Southern states — and believe growers in that section should give it a thorough trial, as 

 It may prove to be just the berry you want for home garden and local market. 



O L £ R M O N T ^^ New York state introduction and is a seedling of Premier and 

 Marshall. It has been highly praised in some sections of the north 

 where it is well worth trying but not reconnnended this far south as it is said to rust 

 badly. I have not fruited Clermont but in New York State it bears a heavy crop of 

 large, smooth, bright glossy red berries with an attractive green cap. The plants are 

 strong*, vigorous growers and make good fruiting l)eds. 



KLONDYKE -^ vigorous grower, makes plants abundantly. Berries uniform, 

 of fair size, color rich dark red. very juicy and handsome. Sells 

 quickly at top prices : very firm and an excellent long distance shipper. A favorite with 

 canners and preservers. Klondyke has l)een a favorite with growers all thru the south, 

 but our yellows free Blakemore will make them more money. 



BELL M A R ^^ •i"'-' developed from a cross of Premier and Missionary by the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture. The plants are vigorous growers mak- 

 ing fruiting beds even on poor soil and on good soil should be spaced or thinned when 

 hoeing. Season of ripening a little earlier than Premier, very tirm reaching distant 

 markets in good condition l)ut soon turn dark after picking but still retain their firmness. 

 Would recommend Dorsett. Fairfax. I'remier or Blakemore instead. 



MID-SEASON VARIETIES 



CATSKILL 



AN OUTSTANDING MID-SEASON VARIETY 



AVas originated by the New York p]xi). Station (seedling No. 4443) where it has been 

 grown for several years and is highly recommended for its size, yield and attractiveness. 

 Catskill is a cross of Marshall and Premier and must take its fruiting qualities after 

 Premier for it is a heavy producer and in tests made has even outyielded that variety and 

 seems to be second to none in yield under normal conditions. The berries are large in size, 

 l)right red in color with a bright green cap that makes an attractive appearance and of 

 excellent (luality and flavor. The plant growth is unusually vigorous with long fibrous 

 roots that penetrate de<i) into the soil making them drouth resistant. The foliage is 

 healthy jind vigorous, makes plants freely, in fact on good ground may need spacing or 

 thinning for best results as the berries in nearly all varieties are the largest and best 

 where plants are not too thick. 



Catskill is a mid-season variety ripening same season as Big Joe and has outyielded 

 that variety having made some .surprising yields and is not as easil.v injured by frost 

 as Big Joe making it better for frosty locations. I have never fruited Catskill. having 

 sold out of ])lants every season, but from what I have seen and heard of it l)elieve you 

 vrill find Catskill one of the best money makers of the mid-season varieties and would 

 urge growers to give it a thorough trial. 



D U N L A P • ^'^■- i'liTi'ill •■ An old-time favorite throughout the northern half of the 

 country and still grown by many of its old friends, although it is being 

 gradually replaced by newer varieties, especially Premier, which is better in most every 

 wa.v. Dunlap will grow and succeed under nearly all conditions and with any kind of 

 treatment. A sure cropper and heavy yielder. Berries are niediiun to large, bright red 

 in color, juicy and of delicious flavor.
